I am having an installer come to mount a Direct TV Ka/Ku Dish. I don't want him to mount it on my house roof (because it is shed style) and therefore am wanting to build a bracket that would substitute for a fascia board. I am looking for a PDF of the Direct TV satellite dish installer's guide. It is a 2" OD mount and I believe the footprint for the base 4 screws is 5" horizontal spacing and 7 7/8* vertical spacing. Thanks.
What does shed style mean?
A Ka/Ku dish cannot be mounted to fascia. If not on the roof we can do it on the side of wood siding, bolted into the underside of the eaves (not a clamp mount) a post in the ground or a non penetrating mount on a flat roof or other flat surface.
Are both sides of the roof a shed style? He may be able to do a pole mount, but there may be an extra charge.
could do an S-tube on a deck. as for the PDF, you'd probably have to find a number to a regional office and see if they would be willing to email it to you.
Ziggy,
This probably doesn't answer what your looking for, but it is the Installation guide.
Jimbo thanks for the PDF of the manual. I am attaching 2 pictures of the bracket that I have built. (Note the Primestar Dishes on the other side of this room.) The heavy duty "L" brackets are spaced 8" apart. I will put some lumber across them (probably about 10" wide) to mount the DTV bracket which has a bolt footprint of 5" wide spacing by 7 7/8" vertical spacing. Since I have these brackets mounted under a small pitch roof rafters with iron bars the 90 degree vertical portion of the "L" bracket is not plum. I don't think this will be an issue though as the installer can correct this when adjusting the 2" mast to the DTV bracket (Coments/Correctons). Note that I have a long horizontal piece of angle iron attached to the top of the "L" bracket. I thought this could be used to attach monopoles if necessary. Does anyone know if its typical that monopoles are used in DTV installations. I have seen some in my neighborhood. I also don't know if this angle iron is positioned in the right place for monopoles. Also what stock of lumber (the 10" wide piece) would 3/4" be enough or should I maybe use two 2 by 4's(one for the top bolts; another for the bottom bolts)? The whole idea of this project is to avoid holes in flat shed roof. Thanks.
